I don't disagree with you. Buy private shools aren't bespoke tutoring in the tradition of the European aristocracy or student-driven explorations of the world, they are the same lecture/ work/ small project/ test structure of public schools.
G+ is ok for google even if it is not popular.

It has managed to get 400m users, linked to gmail accounts, which, at the same point will be linked to analytics.

Even a really basic filling out of the profile (name, location, age) is better than guessing for them.
There is a version of vimium for firefox too. I prefer using it so i don't have to think about the minor differences between vimperator and vimium when I switch browsers.
If you're talking about art, you'd have to ask Jackson Pollock about that ;)

I'm not bagging on 'architects', I just think the article pulls its punches when it says... "and for everything else, ask a grown-up". Well what if you ARE the grown-up?

In a sense, what the table is saying is: "don't commit to estimates longer than a few days". I think that is great advice if you can get away with it.

Understanding the problem and coming up with the detailed design is what usually takes time. The problem is that this information is expensive to produce. In fact it is usually the majority of the development effort.

Development tasks come in at varying levels of well-defined-ness:

* Imperative specification: Implementing a trivial, well specified feature, where all the edge cases have been specified. "Add a new field to form #37, store it in table 'blah', valid input is this regex...". Of course there is usually no problem with estimation in this case.

* Declarative specification: That is; the customer or stakeholder knows what they want, but you will have to do the design work. "We need I8N support in our webmail product. We need a dropdown in the compose window, and a language selector here and ...". Usually the edge cases in the specification are fuzzy and often it will turn out later that the customer didn't understand certain aspects of the problem themselves. Estimates will vary wildly depending on how much time is allowed to produce the estimate, and what approach towards a solution is envisaged initially. Most of the work is actually understanding the problem and producing a detailed design. It requires an intricate understanding of the existing code-base and the problem domain (in this case I18N). This how things really work in most of the industry. Not saying that's right though.

* Debugging: The pathological case. Fortunately, beyond triaging, most people don't expect estimates for this. When fixing really complex bugs (e.g. perf in a huge distributed system), sometimes the best you can do is produce a plan and demonstrate progress.

If the solution to difficult estimation problems was just "give it to an architect to decompose the problem" then estimation wouldn't be hard. This approach would work, if we assume the existence of some mythical architect who can instantly decompose any problem into day or two sized chunks. Unfortunately there is usually no mythical all knowing architect to whom the problem can be punted and the team and PM have to work it out. Of course, estimation has costs too...

Hey, and I know you're really busy right now, but could you get that to me by Friday? ;)
How so? I'm honestly curious.
It is funny how you think engineers are involved in the UX design of G+ or even approve of it. The cry I hear is that G+ s getting dumbed down and spammified to attract more Britney Spears fans.

Not sure if you are still watching this thread, but here's my rant. I am the OP.

Positives
---------
The articles posted on your site are top notch. For eg: In the page I see now, I wanted a beginner article on the latest TypeScript buzz, it's there. The WebAPI and Rosyln were fun to read, so was the MVC with TDD and many more articles listed.

Negatives
---------
Someone has mentioned this in a comment here, and I do it again. Why don't we have a community section for Azure, Windows Apps and so on? I find information from the community much easier to understand and practical and makes up for the incomplete MVC and WebAPI documentation. The same goes for other technologies as well.

Is anyone listening?

G+ is the overall system that links your Google profile to all your Google services.

It's Google Plus, and it does what the name says, it adds a new layer on top of all of Google.
To broadly say that "art" is purely subjective and UI/UX is not is just a bad analogy. No matter what form of art you are doing, whether it is the art of UI/UX, painting, composing music -- the professionals of the trade use experience, technique and other tools to create more sophisticated designs that work and are successful because of the use of those tools and the planning/science behind their method. A more appropriate analogy would be to craft or hobby work, not "art."
Never spending is at odds with mainstream economic theories. You are proposing reducing spending without any particular bound beyond "necessity."

If you want our economy to be based on food, water, and shelter, just say so. But it will conflict with how the rest of us want the world to work.
Yes, it is funny at times, and can be even educational (e.g. if you see something that reminds you something you wrote...)

But I can't help but wondering, why most examples are in PHP
It is a company controlled G+ domain. More interesting is how Google privacy policies and company data retention policies interact when someone leaves a company.
> But really, I wish someone would write an article like "why I switched from vim to Eclipse", but I only ever see ones where the author does the opposite.

You haven't looked very hard, most Eclipse users today came from emacs or vi. And are you seriously arguing that a search/replace is more effective than a refactoring performed automatically with guaranteed correctness?

You are being unreasonably and inexplicable biased against Eclipse (and IDE's in general), it's pretty baffling.

I like the vibe of the city. There's a ton of interesting things to do, people pay attention to their appearance, and the architecture is awesome. Plus, it's not ultra-crowded like NYC, which makes real-estate affordable.
The Wiley textbooks were sold through an authorized distributor; just not one for the US. Suppose you buy an iPhone in Japan, because you live there. You buy it from an authorized dealer in Japan, but (in this imagined future) it has a restriction that it's not for export into the US. Two years later, you move to the US and take your phone with you. You later decide to switch to an Android phone, and sell your old iPhone on eBay.

The thesis is that this eBay sale would be considered illegal.
For Bay Area driving, Waze is very good for traffic conditions. That alone makes the app a winner for me.

Their routing information has it's quirks. But, don't down play that "kids game...social network" aspect for actual driving info. Have you actually used it for day to day commuting?

From a friend in Israel, it is even more useful and very much a loved app there.
I've been stuck doing Java lately (grumble grumble). I love Vim, but occasionally, I just want an IDE to dull the Java boilerplate pain. I've been copy pasting sample snippets in to IntelliJ, auto-adding all the import statements, and then going back to do my main coding in Vim.

I have to close IntelliJ quickly, however, lest the Swing fonts BURN OUT MY RETNAS on my Linux box. How can anybody get any work done with font rendering that bad?!
I keep two tabs open, one for work and one personal.

First I login to: https://mail.google.com/

Then I login to https://mail.google.com/a/domain.com

Works great if you do it like that, better than if you try clicking "Switch accounts" or whatever.
> It's about the lag between the moment you think about what you want to write and the moment when it's written.

Agree 100%. Every other editor just feels like swimming in molasses to me.
If I got the projects assigned to me done in 10 hours, I would just be assigned more projects instead of being allowed to take the rest of the week off. That seems to be the culture of my company: productivity is punished with more work, rather than rewarded with extra time off. My boss jokes about it all the time by saying "no good deed goes unpunished around here" but he doesn't realize that it's not a joke. It's reality. :(

I've lived in China for many years and heard countless acts of injustice and corruption through Weibo (Chinese Twitter). There are interesting code-names that people use to keep their accounts from being deleted or blocked. Deng's freedom was absolutely due to weibo preasure. Its all about face, and if it can be covered up, face over rules justice. If it goes public, justice must be given...for face. Unfortunately doxing success stories are the minority.
In 2011 Louisiana passed a law prohibiting using cash for selling or buying used goods.
It didn't lose credibility, it shot down every technique except the one that worked, Bayesian filtering. Plus I guess a handful of web mail services taking over hundreds of millions of accounts, which may have not been foreseen 10 years ago.
vimium is more of a subset of pentadactyl(or vimperator). and makes it feel incomplete in comparision, if you are used to pentadactyl.

Obligatory xkcd reference: http://xkcd.com/233/

Anyways, point is, although it's a good idea, I don't see it being either wide-spread or significantly more effective than re-CAPTCHA, et al., nor do I see it 'aiding' in emotion, so to speak.

But, I would love for someone to prove me wrong on this, because it is an interesting approach.

Well obviously you can go lower, but 4K is the boiling point of Liquid Helium, so it's the easiest temperature to hold it at.

In the article they mention they chip itself is kept at millkelvin temperatures.

And I disagree about using Fahrenheit - this is not a paper in a journal, it's a lay article. By all means use Fahrenheit if that's what your audience understands. Don't let pedantry get in the way of clarity. (Kelvin has some real meaning, but C vs F is totally arbitrary. One is the freezing point of water, the other is the lowest temperature you can get with a salt/ice mixture.)
Then let's not spam the slides out to non-attendees.

Right, the term for this is psychological priming.

e.g: http://livinglifewithoutanet.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/honest...

I think it's interesting that you could A/B test this; prime only some users and see if it reduces trolling in that group.
I had a worse problem when I helped my parents recover their backups. The backup itself had a fair amount of folder nesting, but was within the 256 character limit. At some point, they moved the backup into another folder that had the date, and computer for the backups. When they tried to access it, Windows gave a cryptic error message about corrupted files.
A uniform social and educational environment is far more important for these types of studies.

Comparing Africa And Europe makes that impossible - it's hard enough in the US as it is.
Hmm. If you feel like trying it out again, I'd love to hear whether or not you find that things have improved.

I agree that we should not punish kids for expermentation (I am outraged when schools do anything other than encourage it). However, if playing around with a computer causes notable damage, I do have to wonder what would happen with viruses or someone who is actually malicius.
> consistently disavowed that "race" categories in the United States have anything to do with biology or genetics.

They disavow it because it's politically poisonous any other way. But it's obvious that race is genetic - all you have to do is look at the physical, and heritable, characteristics.

And despite the "disavowment", practically speaking, most people are the genetic race they claim.
Why so many HTTP servers?
Could you give some example sites? I'll look into it. Also, if it only crashes on a small set of sites, you could selectively disable Vimium on those sites via the browser action icon.
I think you're unreasonably interpreting this as an attack. Articles of the form "I switched to Vim/Emacs" show up reasonably regularly here and on programming related subreddits. I can't recall seeing a similar article touting the benefits of switching to Eclipse.

Similarly, a cursory google search of 'switched "from vim to eclipse"' doesn't reveal any articles of this form.

If you can point me to such an article, or write one, I'd be interested, but I think you have to agree that articles of the form IDE->vim/emacs are much more common than the reverse.
Nice. Imagine that domain names were mined for rather than assigned by random registration authorities.

Hmm...I'm not really sure why I would use your service over the many other tshirt printers online? E.g. BlueCotton charges $29 for one screen-printed (not DTG) AA tee with multiple colors allowed, and the price drops significantly if you order in bulk. I think you need a very strong differentiating feature to compete with the big printers IMO.

I started writing a long-winded response with ideas after looking at your sales site, but realised that it was mostly dancing around to not sound confrontational - these are just some thoughts in no particular order and aren't intended to be negative.

I've done similar things in a more enterprisey property management space, and the amount of data that you're managing on a single property (or 2 or 3 properties) with a single user doesn't look like enough to really justify $234/yr, and all of the things that you've listed involve trying to sort out a product issue with a marketing/business solution (which works, but only to an extent), so you can A/B test all you like, but if people don't think your product is worth it, they're never going to get started or pay for it.

From a pricing perspective, I'd rethink the bottom level plan, the pricing timeframe, and if possible the price-point (maybe shift to something that scales more with use, eg resources or features, rather than something inelastic like # of properties). Be more upfront about pricing - the "try it free" should have the pricing list - you're selling a financial product to people who are presumably good with money, but hiding what it'll cost in the features page. Having a "forever free" plan that's severely limited (/ad-supported) will help with your initial conversion.

For conversion to paid subscriptions, you need to convince them that you're better than a folder on their HDD, excel for financials and their contact list/calendar on their phone. At the very least you need to look at interop between MYOB/Quicken/CSV/whatever's the rage these days. You can focus on how computers crash so a doc library is better, or you can add a feature (versioning, archival of email, I don't know) and use that to sell the document library. If you're targeting the guy who's got 1 property, maybe get some boilerplate forms or checklists and put them up there somewhere. If you're targeting the guys who have 10+ properties, focus on exposing what reports can do. Definitely do allow users to, at the very least, download excel / other spreadsheet versions of their transactions (and if you do this, specify that you do it on the features page).

Best OS with GUI for business laptop?
Recently went and purchased a laptop specifically for two things; all things business, and writing any ramblings/stories etc.

I purchased a new Dell, 2.3ghz i3 quad core, 6GB ram, 1TB hard drive (wanted an ssd but was not optional for the price I got it at).

I ideally want to run linux, but I need a GUI and one that actually works properly as I have next to no linux knowledge currently (but want to learn). Infact the only nix knowledge I have is basic SSH.

More to the point it needs to be very secure, I dont want to worry about some Windows 0 day comprimising the passwords to my ltd company web server etc.

I plan to use TrueCrypt too however is it easy to unlock the partition to edit the files and then lock it again or is it strictly for backup usage?

Many thanks.
Say 1% of papers are fraudulent and 10% have serious errors. Now assume it is 10x easier to prove fraud than to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that an error was made. The result is that 50% of retractions are due to fraud, but still only 1% of all papers are fraudulent.
I will be graduating college soon and getting paid in equity is the last thing I want, regardless of the job market.

I need money to pay off student loans, rent, food, gas, etc... Equity in startups is highly illiquid and turns out to be worthless more often than not; I can't take that risk.

I'm not sure exactly what the sweet spot demographic for this site is, but I don't see it being me or my peers.
In gmail, you'll be able to see the person's "secret" main email address in the `Sender:` field after clicking `Show Original`.

The real annoyance is Outlook. If someone responds to that email via Outlook/Exchange, the reply will be sent `To:` your main email address rather than to the address you sent with.
Becausr the best way to make your product profitable is to keep making less and less useful for your users.
You must live an exceptionally simple life.
Not if you are sending as a @gmail account from a different @gmail account. No way to remove your `Sender:` header in that case. Ridiculous, as you can easily fix it for any other @domain.
I completely agree with this. Measuring productivity solely by hours in front of a screen is completely useless.

On the other hand, tracking hours can be really benificial too, if done correctly. I love using DeskTime.com for personal use (for company use it seems counterproductive) since it lets me easily track how much time I've spent on productive apps/web sites compared to unproductive apps/web sites.

Yesterday I had a great work day for example, I spent 14 hours in front of the computer screen. 11 hours of those were spent in productive apps/websites, like my text editor, FTP, terminal, API-documentation sites, CRM, admin backend etc and 1h 30m in unproductive apps/websites like Hacker News and Reddit.com.

I got quite a lot done, so I was really satisfied with my day. On the other hand I spent over 3 hours trying to fix what turned out to be a missing comma in a configuration file. If I had spotted the error faster I could have spent more than 3 hours less time working, while still being just as productive. If I had more experience with the things I did yesterday I could probably have done as much in half the time.

Just goes to show that even "productive hours" isn't the most important thing, the only thing that matters in the end is the results.
I constantly find myself myself trying to use vim commands in the browser, never thought to look for an extension.

If you're a vim and Chrome user this is a must have. "/" for search and being able to navigate with the keyboard is worth the install alone.
You never find the need to site down, with all your notes and plans before you, to figure out what to do next, or how to do it? You must live an exceptionally simple life.
Theoretically, the only way to make money on an efficient market is to have information others don't have. Manufacturing it would one (very desperate) way.

I agree that this would be too difficult to pull off (one worker spilling the beans would be enough).

But "can make money on the market" mean "might make money" not "will make money". Worth keeping in mind that hedge don't just get stream of money from the market just for being hedge funds. You need to get good information somehow.

I didn't say anything about scheduling - just keeping all my projects and plans in one place, so I can refer to them imediately, and don't have to worry about remembering them. If this wouldn't benefit you, you must be living an exceptionally simple life.
A few notes:

- The 'Get Started' button needs to be placed and styled more prominently - it took me longer than it should have to find it.

- Adding glyphs takes the user out of editing mode

- I would have the Facebook and Twitter buttons on the main menu, i.e. don't nest them. Having a few blue buttons on the otherwise black menu should increase CTR for sharing

- If possible, add more color options. I'm not sure what your printing setup is, but I really didn't like the available colors. I prefer navy blue and black shirts.

- In the order form, all the options on dropdown menus are unreadable - they are light grey on light grey

- $29 for one single sided shirt? I wish I would have known before going through the creation process!!! Can I buy in bulk for cheaper? Can I get double sided printing?

Hope this helps.

Given that a publically funded manned Mars mission would be at least $10B, a private mission would be difficult even if the cost were reduced 10x. And SpaceX can't even reduce orbital launch costs by 10x over today's gold standard; according to Wikpedia, the Russians have the currently cheapest operational LEO system on a per kilogram basis. Meanwhile, SpaceX's costs are 2x over original estimates. While the Space Shuttle was such a boondoggle that almost anyone could reduce costs as compared to it, contemporary Russian programs are not nearly as poorly designed and executed.
